A Bottle and Gift Box That Evoke Vitality
"Dom Pérignon by David Lynch" represents the encounter between two worlds of originality: Dom Pérignon and David Lynch. In December 2011, David Lynch shot and released an advertising campaign for "Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003" and "Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2000." Subsequently, David Lynch designed new iterations of the Dom Pérignon bottle and gift box. Drawing inspiration from his own photography, he infused this limited edition with a new essence.

The gift box features David Lynch's signature, which emerges from reflections that change depending on the viewing angle. Like something from a science fiction world, the gaze wanders into a nocturnal biotope (living space) illuminated by scattered lights. It captivates instantly, much like the magical little theaters he often creates.
Pull the silk ribbons at both ends of the box and open the inner curtains to herald the arrival of a new world. Within this space, where mystery transforms into a game, stands the iconic Dom Pérignon bottle. "Even inanimate objects can be imbued with life, given personality and depth. It relates to light and form, sound, shape, and movement. Like a dance composed of various elements," says David Lynch.

Dom Pérignon and David Lynch
From 1668 to 1715, Dom Pierre Pérignon served as the cellar master at the Abbey of Hautvillers in the Champagne region. His sole life's purpose was the relentless pursuit and exploration to create "the world's finest wine." Today, each bottle of Dom Pérignon Vintage carries forward this spirit of Dom Pierre Pérignon.
David Lynch, born in the United States in 1946, is a film director.
He has released numerous masterpieces with a dreamlike atmosphere, including "Blue Velvet," "Wild at Heart," and "Mulholland Drive."
Film is but one facet of his artistry; he is also active as a musician, painter, and photographer. He is truly a multi-artist, comparable to legendary figures of the Renaissance.
Both driven by the belief of "always being experimental," they were destined to meet. Since then, Dom Pérignon has explored innovative forms of expression by creating "new forms" that are full of surprise and deeply memorable. This intellectual endeavor evokes something beyond the present: mystery, dynamism, and boldness. The imagery of Dom Pérignon by David Lynch is filled with an irresistible allure.
